Ys. Gal et al., SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF CONDUCTING POLYMERS FROM PROPARGYLAMMONIUM SALTS BY TRANSITION-METAL CATALYSTS, Synthetic metals, 69(1-3), 1995, pp. 549-550
Novel conjugated ionic polymers were synthesized and characterized. Th
e monomers includes mono-, di-, and tri-propargylammonium bromides suc
h as HC=CCH2+NH3Br-, HC=CCH2+N(CH3)(2)(CH(2)PhBr-, (HC=CCH2)(2)(NH2Br-
)-N-+, and (HC=CCH2)(3)(NHBr-)-N-+. These monomers were easily polymer
ized by PdCl2, PtCl2, and RuCl3 to give a high yield of polymer. The p
olymer structures were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and IR
spectroscopies to have a highly conjugated system, The electrical con
ductivities of iodine-doped ionic polymers increased with doping level
and reached the value of 10(-3)similar to 10(-2)Ohm(-1)cm(-1).
